Chicago White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Wednesday, March 12, that 2B Jeff Keppinger (shoulder) is moving closer to becoming a candidate to start the regular season on the 15-day disabled list unless he starts to recover quickly.

Chicago White Sox manager Robin Ventura said the team is not considering placing 2B Jeff Keppinger (shoulder) on the disabled list because there is plenty of time for his shoulder to heal. Keppinger has been limited on what he could do defensively but has been able to be the designated hitter during games.
